Uncomfortable Pillow

I find this pillow to be extremely uncomfortable. It's hard as a rock. Figured my body heat would help to soften it within a few minutes of each use, but this is not the case. I have trouble falling asleep while using it, and wake up most mornings with my head on my mattress due to discomfort. Also noticed a strong chemical odor when I received it five weeks ago - the scent still resides. I find it unfortunate that this is such an expensive pillow, when it does not own up to its claims of offering "comforting therapeutic support." Wish there was something that could be done to make my money spent worthwhile, since I spent a hefty amount on a product I cannot use. Unfortunate but understandable that they do not accept returns.
This pillow has saved my head, neck, and spine. I started using my first one back in the '90s and I bought a new one as a Hanukkah gift to myself last December. Love love love.
I have had a Tempurpedic neck pillow for years which I love. I purchased 2 new ones but found that they smelled of chemicals and have not been able to use them. The cover slso seems to be made of a synthetic material. Not like they used to be but diappointing.
I use this pillow every night as I like the neck support. The only problem I have is that the pillow is a little hard, especially on cold nights, sometimes becoming uncomfortable. I often turn a lot trying to get asleep so I wish the pillow had a little more give (softness) to enable me to cuddle with it.
So let me start this by saying that I have purchased literally every pillow that claims to give neck support. I've gone through dozens of pillows and every single one of them would fall flat in the middle of the night and not support my head. I have 4 herniations in my cervical spine which causes spasms in my upper back and shoulders and recently have been getting terrible tension headaches. I knew I needed a more supportive pillow because I'd wake up not being able to move, I finally bit the bullet and ordered the neck pillow. This is NOT at all what i expected, I figured it would be a normal size pillow with extra support for your neck, it's super small which turned me off to using it. After about a month of this pillow sitting in a closet I woke up one morning with a terrible spasm and figured I'd just use it that evening. I've been using it for about 2 weeks and I have no idea why I didn't use it sooner, game changer!! I never want to be without this pillow, for the first time in 10 years I can HONESTLY say I can sleep through the night and not wake up in agony. If you're on the fence about buying it just do it, you wont regret it!
We have neck pillows from prob 12 yrs ago. I ordered the original size small only to find out that they were different in measurement to our original ones. I called customer service. They were great to work with, allowed me to return the two that I ordered and exchange for the medium size which the bump of the pillow is more true to size as the original. Of course there was a charge increase. We are happy with the medium size . Much more like what we are used to.
Got as a Christmas present but unfortunately didn't live up to expectations. Pillow is thin and once the weight of your head is on it, it feels like you're laying flat on the mattress.
